Jurassic Undead

Sound: Static crackle and distant wind

**(Radio static, muffled transmission)**

"Sector Seven... this is Doctor Hale... do you copy?"

Waves crash against jagged shore

My boat drifted with the tide

I don't know how I ended here

Just footprints where I used to hide

**(Distant growl, low and rumbling)**

Something moves between the palms

I hear it breathing close behind

This island wasn't on the maps

This island wasn't ever kind

What have they done to you

Creature born of bone and rot

What have they done to you

You were something I forgot

**(Rapid footsteps, snapping branches)**

Runnin through the underbrush

Can't catch my breath can't find the light

The canopy is closing in

And everything is wrong tonight

**(Guttural shriek, closer now)**

They don't move the way they should

Their eyes are hollow sunken white

The ferns that once were green and soft

Are dripping with a stain tonight

What have they done to you

Creature born of bone and rot

What have they done to you

You were something I forgot

**(Wet snarling, chewing sounds)**

I saw a stegosaurus turn

With teeth where plates should line its back

The gentle giants that I knew

Now hunt the jungle on attack

**(Crashing foliage, thundering steps)**

They circle from the dark lagoon

The herbivores have learned to kill

My flashlight shakes across the mud

My heart is beating frozen still

**(Radio static, SOS tone)**

"Goodbye... if anyone can hear me..."

(Breathing, ragged)

"...they're at the gate..."

**(Hissing growl, then sudden silence)

(Radio static fades out)**
